OK @Tones & @TT: if neither of you guys sees this as problematic, then i'd better explain myself better. Here's a meta-example i've just documented:
1. Create a tiddler on this topic, and give it a permalink: https://meta.tiddlyhost.com/#AvoidingLinkRot. Share link with friends, to engage their support in taming this dragon! 2. Recall that "Link Rot" is a well-known problem, which Wikipedia might know about- and indeed: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot 3. Realise that- in keeping w/ principle of AtomicGranularity- i should probably limit this tiddler to describing the problem (including link to that Wikipedia article and maybe just my review of that material) and rename it after that article: "ProblemOfLinkRot" 4. Work away on that renamed tiddler, adding my detailed analysis of the article, and the problem. 5. Puzzled after a time as to why nobody is commenting on my work, check the link -and find out that it's broken. (yeesh! and nobody told me? did they even click the link i shared?) i've run through this loop enough times, it's already getting old. Could it be that it's just me, i wonder? /walt On Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at 10:51:28 AM UTC+1 TiddlyTweeter wrote: > Ciao walt, > > Right.
